You are the book-review Queen, Miss Lisa. Very helpful. I’m going to see if the library has this or will purchase it, but as you might suspect, I am drowning in books, sometimes another form of clutter… *sometimes*! 🙂 Wow. Yes, so much junk has accumulated for me digitally. And imagine this: Your computer crashes for over a month, so now I have to go through now about 1,000 emails. So I don’t. I just go through what comes in. But the backlog feels like weight. Mike said just dump them, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I know there are many outdated (info that is past), but i’m concerned about those I should have ans’d personally. Anyway, thanks for these great tips.

In reply to Beverley. That's wonderful, Beverley. It's good to establish habits across all the areas of our lives, not just segments. I keep my house fairly decluttered, but my digital world has grown very cluttered.

In reply to Jean Wise. Oh, those folders. :( I keep my inbox at zero most all the time, but the folders? Egads. And Evernote hasn't worked out so wonderfully for me because I use it as a junk drawer. It's become a scary place. ha. Let me know how it goes for you. I've begun with my photos and I'm making progress, but no light at the end of the tunnel yet because I let the tunnel grow so long.

oh this just went to the top of my reading list. I need this sooooo badly. I would start with my email files. I take care of my inbox pretty good but tend to keep things in the sidebar in folders, many i never use. I also have a bunch of clipped articles in evernote that need organizing or deleted. Thanks for the inspiration.

In reply to Elizabeth. For those of us who spend much time at all on our computers or phones, we do need this. I definitely do!

In reply to Barbara H.. Yes, I'm much more apt to do something if I think all I have to do is 10 minutes worth. And if I end up doing a bit more, then that's fine too. :) But it's amazing how much you can get done in just 10 minutes a day if it's consistently done.

Very good advice indeed. 10 minutes a day sound very doable as opposed to a big “clean everything out session.”
